Today is Wednesday, right? I think? Ah, yes, that's what my computer says. And it's April 17. April 17 already??? Wow. In two days, Aubrey will have been at home for two months. Eventually we'll get to the point where she's been home longer than she was in the hospital. It's so nice to have her home...maybe I've mentioned that in the past. ;)
We have a physical/occupational therapy appointment today at 11. Adam took her two weeks ago and made the appointment for the same time in two weeks...he's off today, but he forgot that he had to work last night and would need to sleep this morning and wouldn't be able to take her. So, I took the day off and Aubrey and I will run some errands and head for the hospital.
We also have to go back to the pediatrician on Friday for Aubrey's 6 month check up and shots. Technically she'll be 6 months old on the 20th and will need her 6 month vaccinations; she also gets her last synagis shot for the season (that insurance will pay for)--RSV is on the decrease by this time of year anyway.
Hopefully I've figured out how to give Aubrey her prevacid in a way that it will actually help. I had been putting it into her first bottle of the morning and she had been blurting it up on a regular basis. The doctor said it was really supposed to be given on its own before she ate, but I didn't do that because I was worried it was too thin and she would choke on it. Well, after her blurting it up so many times I decided to try giving it by itself (it's not doing any good if she throws it up with the bottle). So, yesterday I gave her the medicine a teensy bit at a time and she kept it down; it was obvious, though, by the faces she was making that it tasted pretty awful. She did still spit up some yesterday, but no entire bottle like before. Maybe it will help now!
On a lighter note, Aubrey has discovered how to stick out her tongue. See below:
Love looking at your pictures daily! Continuing to lift you in prayer! She is absolutely perfect!
